Just complaining

Ok, as most of you know, I am not Dx'ed with anything, so what's going on, I have no idea. That being said, whew, I believe I have over done it. Work is very demanding, after about a year and of  half of a very bad slow down, and out of no where I am working like crazy lately. This heat, the stress (both physical and mental), the long hours, I think have taken it's toll. I have really been pushing my body to the extreme limits, dealing with extreme fatigue, I mean like I have never known before. Yet I push on. I find everyday that I can set new limits for tolerance, of how far I can push myself.

Today I am paying the price. I did work today as well, but only half a day. Now I'm in pretty dang bad shape here. My muscles have given in. My left knee keeps collapsing backwards, my right arm has barely any control. I can barely use a mouse with the right arm. My eye is all kinds of messed up. I'm not even going to get into the sensations that are going through my body.

So, it appears I am learning my limits. But I am going to have to start it all again on monday, and find new limits.

This is for anyone out there that is dealing with fatigue, and still must go on. I'm with you, and I feel your pain. Good luck on tomorrow.

Sorry, just needed to talk about about a couple of things to people that understand.

   Yes, It seems as time goes on we do start to learn our limits AND usually do it the hard way! Nonetheless we are still learning our limits!  And then.......We forget and try to push them again....

   Sorry you are feeling bad :(   Hugs to you. Ok now...here goes the teeny tiny lecture.....REST for the rest of the weekend!!!  If not, it takes so much longer to feel better.  Funny thing is, both me and one of my MS Friends (lives near me) are also having the same thing going on!  My legs and left arm are so very week and it is kinda scary becasue I do not know that I recall them being quite this bad before.  

     OH YA...The FATIGUE!  Lets just say that for the last (4) days I have not seen day or out of the bed until after 3pm....This in turn makes me feel like a piece of crap and guilty for sleeping so long. I miss my meds, to tired to eat, and get up to go to potty.
Perhaps this Florida Heat is Kicking my A**!  Even though I do not go out during the day. I am pretty much Nocturnal...True Story!!

     Long Story Short...I feel what you are saying!  Please rest.

Be Well and Stay Cool,
~Tonya

Johnny,

I'm drive-by posting...real quick before I put the monkeys to bed :-)

I hope you are able to rest and recover for the remainder of the weekend! Yay for the mixed blessing of having more work to do. It is hard for the body but nice for the wallet!

Rest, rest, rest! Monday comes way too quickly!
